I have found email to be an incredibly helpful timesaver for committee =
work - sending drafts back and forth for editing, honing details, =
checking calendars etc. (And I know that I speak for the other committee =
members I've worked with.)  It is truly great!  I suspect that it isn't =
helpful when there is a hot issue and people should just declare hot =
email discussions over, or not respond, and continue to talk in person.  =
Banning seems like overkill.

One thing that doesn't help is sending an email with a hot issue in it =
and then declaring further email on the topic out of bounds.  Talking =
out of both sides of the mouth there.

So is in-house cohousing email helpful?  Sometimes, very much yes, and =
sometimes, no.

Warmly,
